Offers from tech giants — Microsoft, Wipro, Cognizant and Capgemini — for IT and product management roles also continued to grow.

The growing trend of summer placements and pre-placement offers too might have had an effect on the increased interest of recruiters. IIFT said that nearly 28% of its graduates received pre-placement offers. During the summer placements as well, the average stipend stood at a whopping ₹2 lakh a month.

“The students at IIFT were placed across 96 companies. The highest stipend offered was ₹3.2 lakh per month. This year the number of companies with an average stipend of over ₹2 lakh has increased by 46%," IIFT said during its summer placements.

Students of other B-schools like Faculty of Management Studies Delhi and Management Development Institute (MDI) are receiving salary offers that are just as good.
